    • ]]>     The Thursday night Linden Lab whisky tasting has degraded in the traditional way. I’m surrounded by tipy nerds, discussing the glories of JQuery. One of my co-workers is wearing a shirt that reads “The Age of Consent Tour 1997″. Nerdcore rap blares from the QA office.

    Life is good.

    • ]]>     Oh yes. The IRC Rap Battles continue at Linden Lab, creators of Second Life. Bridie Linden is in town, and we decided to bitchslap some suckah MCs…

    Bridie Linden:
    I got so much chips I swear they call me Hewlett Packard
    I got so much chips you can have a bag if you’re a snacker

    Erica Linden:
    Running on energy I stole from Half-Life
    Too dark to see gotta use my keyboard backlight
    Preying on newbies / I like to watch them break down
    Running with Bridie / We start the grid they take down

    Both:
    Aww. Aw yeah.

    • ]]>     In my new role as a user experience goon at Second Life, I’m often called upon to participate in rap battles with other employees.

    Because we’re all busy, rap battles tend to be text-only and asynchronous, conducted over IRC, twitter, or instant messenger.

    Past themes have included: My prowess as a Developer, My (imaginary) Car, Linden Lab Office Culture, and Various Programming Languages.

    Below are a few examples of my amazing rap power, mostly gleaned from IM logs. Enjoy responsibly, and please remember check yourself before you wreck yourself.

    Killing jira issues like Rambo kills commies / Tasks and subtasks crying for their mommies /As&Os got me going mental / Yoz wants to rap but he’s too CONTINENTAL

    Chillin wit’ Jonhenry / Talking ’bout JIRA / Drank me some coffee / Wish it was a beerah

    open up email to try and cat-heard / 60 threads later / time is going backward / I just get in when wham! it’s lunch / wtf have I done besides data-crunch?

    think you bad / ’cause you so much taller? / you may be blue / but I’m white collar / rollin’ in my office working on a search / you think you’re rapping but its SO MUCH WORSE

    Kickin’ it smoove in my GTO / ops wants to have a meeting / but I’ve got ta go!
